Former Auburn running back Mike Dyer and current Auburn receiver DeAngelo Benton testified Wednesday in an armed robbery trial against former Auburn teammate Antonio Goodwin.

Dyer, who transferred to Arkansas State, was called as a state witness in the case against Goodwin. Goodwin, according to state prosecutors, pulled a gun and terrified residents during a home invasion in March 2011 in Auburn, Ala.

He is one of four former Auburn players—including Shaun Kitchens, Dakota Mosley and Mike McNeil—who were charged with multiple counts of first-degree robbery, first-degree burglary and third-degree theft of property for an alleged home invasion at a trailer. Wednesday was the second day of Goodwin’s trial. The other trial dates are later this summer.

Dyer testified that Goodwin, Mosley and Kitchens wanted him to participate in the robbery because he owned a handgun, a .45-caliber Hi-Point. The group had been hanging out at Benton’s apartment, drinking and using synthetic marijuana, also known as spice. The substance was not banned in the state of Alabama until October 2011.

“To be honest, Antonio wasn’t the type of guy to do that,” Dyer said of Goodwin, whom he described as a good friend and now plays football at Arizona Western College.

Dyer said he walked back to his apartment and it was then that Goodwin asked him to come along as well. Dyer said he again declined, but testified that he believes Goodwin took the handgun from Dyer’s apartment.

Mosley, Kitchens and Goodwin arrived at an apartment shared by former Auburn player Neiko Thorpe and McNeil. Thorpe testified that the three men appeared drunk. The three went upstairs with McNeil and Thorpe said he overheard part of their conversation.

“The only thing I recall I heard was something about ‘trailer,” Thorpe said, according to the Opelika-Auburn News.

Thorpe said Goodwin, Mosley, Kitchens and McNeil left and he did not see them again that night.

The victims, assistant district attorney Kenny Gibbs said, called 911 immediately after the defendants left the trailer home and police arrested them and recovered two guns, a stolen safe and cell phones within minutes.

Many of Goodwin’s attorney’s questions dealt with the effects of spice and whether the witnesses were drug tested while at Auburn.

The day after the robbery, Dyer drove to the police station to give his statement.

Dyer was the most valuable player of the 2011 BCS National Championship Game. As a freshman, he broke Bo Jackson’s freshman rushing record. It was the first of his two 1,000-yard seasons. Dyer was suspended for a violation of team rules just before the Chick-Fil-A Bowl game, and then was released from his scholarship at Auburn in January.

He transferred to Arkansas State, where former Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn is head coach.
